A Murder at the Captain's Quarters

Last week while we were at the beach, early one morning we were out by the pool and this big bird flew up and sat on the showers beside the pool.

B is yelling look at that hawk. At that point it was about 40 feet from us. It had something in its talons.
All of a sudden it flies toward us! It landed on top of a fake palm tree, feathers going everywhere. Now it was only about 10 or 12 feet from B and I. I just happened to have my camera in my hand, so I started snapping photos. I got several shots all similar to this one. It had a pigeon in it's talons, it was on the other side of the palm tree so you can not see it in any of my photos. We later found more blood and feathers by one of the hot tubs!
I was just so excited to be this close to this beautiful bird, and feeling so lucky to get these photos. Yeah, me!...and thanks to my really cool HP camera!
